About the dangers of snoring and how to diagnose and treat it

Patient: I feel that I snore a lot, and my breathing seems to be not smooth at night, and I often hold my breath, and my spirit is not good the next day. What are the dangers of snoring? I hope not to snore and sleep well. Snoring is divided into two kinds: one is only a big snoring sound, which only affects the rest of others; the second one is that there is apnea (breath-holding) in the middle of snoring, and there is even a case of waking up from suffocation. If there are more than 30 times of apnea in 8 hours (according to night time), each time is more than 10 seconds, which belongs to the “obstructive sleep apnea syndrome”, and this will affect the sleep of the people in the next day. “This will affect your health, leading to sleep deprivation, hypoxia of the heart muscle and brain, inducing lesions in important organs, mental disorientation the next day, affecting work and study, and in severe cases, may lead to sudden death in sleep. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time. There are many treatment methods, including: lying on more sides, not drinking alcohol before going to bed, losing weight, wearing a portable ventilator, and pharyngeal and nasal surgery. Among them, the treatment of ventilator is non-invasive and complication-free, which is suitable for heavier snoring patients with poor surgical results; surgery is suitable for those patients with obvious anatomical abnormalities such as nasal obstruction, obvious narrowing of the pharyngeal cavity, enlarged tonsils, hypertrophy of the tongue root, and overgrowth of the uvula. Of course, if you can effectively reduce weight, for many patients to avoid the pain of surgery.
